New Skill

The battle with the crocodiles had been harrowing, but it had also shown him the importance of preparation and the need to gather resources more efficiently. Determined to find a way to make the most out of every encounter, he decided to explore the world chat for any useful tips or skills.

He opened his status screen and navigated to the world chat. The chat was buzzing with activity, filled with messages from survivors sharing their experiences and offering items for trade. As he scrolled through the messages, one particular post caught his eye:

**"Selling skill: Auto Resource – 11 gold coins. This skill allows you to automatically convert defeated opponents into usable resources once a day. Essential for efficient survival!"**

Sun Han's interest was piqued. This skill sounded exactly like what he needed. He checked his inventory and found that he had 11 gold coins from the rewards of surviving the first wave. Without hesitation, he decided to purchase the skill.

A system prompt confirmed his purchase:

**"You have acquired the skill: Auto Resource. This skill allows you to automatically convert defeated opponents into usable resources once a day. To activate, simply select a target and use the skill."**

Excited to test his new ability, Sun Han decided to return to the river where he had defeated the crocodile. The sun was high in the sky as he made his way through the desolate landscape. The memory of the battle replayed in his mind, reminding him of the crocodile meat and skin that could be of great use.

Upon reaching the river, he spotted the lifeless bodies of the crocodiles. He approached the first one, feeling a mix of anticipation and curiosity. With a deep breath, he activated the "Auto Resource" skill, directing it at the closest crocodile.

A bright light enveloped the crocodile's body, and Sun Han watched in awe as the massive reptile began to disintegrate, its flesh and bones transforming into tangible resources. The process took only a few moments, and when the light faded, a notification appeared in front of him:

**"Auto Resource activated. You have received: 300 pounds of crocodile meat, 1 yard of crocodile skin."**

He quickly checked his inventory, and true enough, the items were there, taking up 2 out of the 10 available slots. Sun Han couldn't help but smile at the success of his new skill. This ability would drastically improve his chances of survival by ensuring that no victory went unrewarded.

Satisfied with his haul, Sun Han decided to head back to his shelter. The walk back was uneventful, giving him time to reflect on his newfound capability. The Auto Resource skill was a game-changer. Not only would it provide him with essential materials, but it would also save him the time and effort of manually processing each kill.

As he neared his shelter, Sun Han's thoughts turned to the future. With the resources he had gathered, he could begin upgrading his base. The crocodile meat would provide sustenance, while the skin could be used for crafting or trade. Each day would bring new challenges, but with his skills and determination, he felt more confident in his ability to survive.

Sun Han entered his underground shelter and set the resources aside, already planning his next steps. The world outside was harsh and unforgiving, but he was learning to adapt, to use every advantage he could find. The journey ahead was uncertain, but Sun Han was determined to carve out a place for himself in this brutal new world.
